Customer Reviews

In The Attic is a Wonderful Book

This book is all about imagination. When my son was little this was his favorite book for me to read to him. We read it so much he memorized every word. My daughter loved the book as well, so much so that she took it and added it to her classroom library. Loving the book so much, and in hopes of one day having grandchildren, I ordered another copy for myself!

Interesting

To tell the truth, I'm not sure what I think about this book. The message - imagination keeps you from being bored - is a good one, and the story is interesting, and the artwork is just fine, but for some reason it's not adding up in my head as a keeper book. I might pass this off to my nieces' school.

ENTER A WHOLE NEW WORLD

"In The Attic" is a wonderful invitation into the world of imagination! A small boy climbs a toy ladder into the attic to play, to discover, to dream. The illustrations invite the reader/listener to become part of the fantasy while also inspiring ideas and questions for discussion. Many possibilities for literature extension activities and creative play. Appropriate for school-aged children as well as preschoolers.

Imaginations soar

"In the Attic" is a great children's book featuring the wonders of a child's imagination. We have used this book in a family literacy project at our local public library and the parents love it too. This is a great book to teach readers to pay close attention to the details in a book's illustrations.
